Monkeys
Monkeys make up two of the three groups of simian primates, Old World monkeys and New World monkeys. A monkey is any primate that is not a human, prosimian, or apes. With 96 species of Old World monkeys and 53 species of New world monkeys, you'll have a barrel of fun monkeying around in this category!

A man has a son and a wife....
His old friend comes by and tells him about a monkeys paw that will grant 3 people 3 wishes. By the time it gets to the man, only one person can wish on the paw. The friend says "if you wish to mess with fate" take the paw.

Why are langurs going extinct?
The Golden Langur lives in a fairly small part of northern India, bounded by three rivers and the Black Mountains of Bhutan in the north. They are declining in numbers mainly because of humans moving into their territory.
The Delacour's langurs live exclusively in the north of Vietnam and are extremely endangered because their bones and organs are used in the Chinese traditional medicine. So they are hunted by poachers. As well, their habitats are also getting smaller because of humans moving in. There are ten other kinds of langurs in Vietnam and they are all endangered.
Do Japanese Macaque Monkeys Hibernate or Migrate?
they migrate to different places in the different kinds of seasons
How do howler monkeys communicate?
Some male monkeys use vocal competitions to attract the females. If a monkey finds himself all alone, he whistles so that his group will wait for him. Monkeys also have warning cries. Different species of monkeys have different ways of communicating.
What is the body covering of a monkey?
Skin, amongst other things, keeps what's meant to be inside, inside, and keeps what's meant to be outside, outside.
I doubt it but if the monkey has been trained by someone to draw then sure!! But I am not saying its immpossible for a monkey to draw, just I doubt it... But again it would ne fine for a monkey to be able to fraw if the monkey was trained by someone. hop I have answered your question good and proper and so take care and bye!xxxxxxxxxx
How do monkeys clean themselves?
Most monkeys help clean each other by picking off the bug of each other and eating them.
Do mammals and monkeys fly in the air?
The only flying monkeys on record are the ones in the Wizard of Oz who were minions of the Wicked Witch. These were entirely fictional creatures.
However, monkeys appear to fly because they can leap from tree to tree. While it appears they are flying, they aren't, they are simply using momentum to push themselves from one tree branch to another.
They don't do much. They just stay in one spot most of the time a squeak once in a while.
No, flying monkeys are fictional animals that featured in the Wizard of Oz.
No primates are capable of flight, but it has been suggested that some (for example the Sifaka) may have a limited gliding capacity.
Generally speaking, no. Up until very recently, monkeys were held to be herbivores, and the majority of them are still believed to be so. A wildlife documentary by the English naturalist David Attenborough in 2006, revealed that some colonies of chimpanzees living in jungle areas can be predatory, and kill smaller monkeys for food- however, it is not known how typical this is of chimp or ape behaviour. The general understanding remains that monkeys are herbivores, and seldom eat meat. Even if the Attenborough documentary revealed a carnivorous trait hitherto unknown amongst chimps, there is no way that any apes would take on an animal so much larger and faster than themselves, such as a giraffe.
Do gorillas and any kind of monkey live in the Congo?
Yes they live in north africa but not in southern because they can get food from the north but in the south there is no food
I'm not sure about water monkey but u could find in internet
How do sea monkeys have babies?
The anemone buds babies off of their own bodies, they leave the main anemone when they are old enough to attatch and capture on their own.
Is a howler monkey a vertebrate or invertebrate?
Vertebrate means to have a backbone. Howler monkeys have one, so they are vertebrates.
Why did humans come from monkeys?
There are a few critical distinctions between humans and apes:
Humans walk upright, apes are generally knuckle walkers (they walk on all fours but on the knuckles of the hands).
Humans can hold their breath. No ape can do that - this is to do with the way the tubes in the throat are arranged and it also means that it possible for humans to talk - the downside is that food can "go down the wrong way".
Humans have much less hair - they are practically naked.
Unfortunately, these important differences are not the kind of thing that fossilise well - apart from the walking upright. The well known Lucy fossil was an upright walker, but, of course, it's difficult to explain why a creature started walking upright apart from the vague "there was an environmental advantage".
There is a theory that explains pretty much all of these; that early hominids spent a period as "aquatic apes" - this would explain why we can hold our breath, lost our body hair and - more tentatively - why we walk upright. The only problem with the theory is that there is no fossil evidence to support it.
Another answer--The evidence is that humans and apes shared a common ancestor, not that they evolved from apes.
+++
The difficulty is tracing the lineage stems from not just body details failing to leave fossils. The Quaternary land animals generally - including our ancestors - left far fewer good fossils than sea creatures. Notably, our own species is poorly defended physically from animal attacks or extreme weather, and poorly equipped bodily to hunt and kill live prey. We had to develop an intellect and vocal skill some orders of magnitude higher than those of any other animal so we could overcome these weaknesses by brain rather than brawn.
It depends on the species of monkey. Most monkeys have simple digestive tracts similar to those of humans. However, monkey habitats and diets are far more diverse than those of apes. Some monkeys, such as the colobus and langur, have pregastric fermentation and what could be considered a rumen. This allows them to digest very fibrous diets while breaking down toxins that would otherwise render their food inedible. So although classic ruminants, like the cow, are only distantly related to monkeys, parallel evolution has driven the development of similar digestive strategies.
Why do people think humans originate from monkeys?
Scientists don't think humans evolved from monkeys. They do believe that humans are more closely related to modern apes than to monkeys, but they don't believe we evolved from apes either. Humans and modern African apes both evolved from a common ancestor. The understanding of human evolution comes from the evidence presented in the fossil records and similarities found with genetic research.
Many scientists believe in Darwin's theory of evolution which states that organisms evolve over time to be able to adapt to the changing environment. He based his theory on the birds in the Galapogos Islands. There were birds on the mainland and on the island that were or used to be the same species, but the birds on the island had different features. They had these different features because of their environment. That is why some scientist believe humans evolved from monkeys, they think we learned to stand up straight and use weapons because it would ensure better survival in our environment.
